Thank you.
Mr. Holman, I have some questions for you.
On June 9, 2020, the Minister of Public Services and Procurement noted in her opening remarks that, as a result of competition and the current market instability, some information about our procurement could compromise federal government orders and Canada's negotiating position.
You spoke about the system of silence. Is the system of private or secret decision-making meant to ensure better service to the public?
Is its goal instead to preserve any potential sensitivities with regard to international partners?
Does it exist to open certain political doors?
